Best Western Plus Hotel Zürcherhof is a mid-range hotel at Zähringerstrasse 21 in the Altstadt area of Zürich, Switzerland, on the Limmat's eastern side near the university and the Central tram stop. The location is at the upper end of the old town, a short walk from the Niederdorf lanes, the Grossmünster and the Kunsthaus, and Zürich Hauptbahnhof is roughly ten to fifteen minutes away on foot. The Polybahn funicular, which climbs to the ETH Zürich university terrace with a city viewpoint, starts close by at Central. The hotel belongs to the Best Western Plus group and offers a consistent, business-friendly standard rather than boutique character, in a building well placed between the old town and the university quarter. Rooms are offered as Single, Double and Superior Rooms, with nightly rates typically about CHF 190 to 300. Listed amenities are wifi, air conditioning and breakfast, with air conditioning a useful feature during warm summer weeks, when many older Swiss hotels lack it. Breakfast is part of the offering, and the surrounding old town provides many restaurants for other meals, from traditional Swiss cooking to student-oriented cafes. The service is straightforward and professional, drawing a mix of business visitors, conference delegates and leisure travellers who want a reliable, central base with the backing of an international brand. The hotel does not advertise a spa or pool. Because Zähringerstrasse is a busy street with trams and traffic nearby, a room facing the courtyard or an upper floor may be quieter. The location combines ease of access with a short stroll to the old town, making it a practical mid-priced choice in a city where central accommodation is expensive.
